Default Spark Plug Wire changing tip.

I just replaced my spark plug wires on the '79. Used the yellow Accell super stock wires. Getting the front two driver's side wires to go inbetween the motor mounts looks impossible. But I was able to lube plug boot with wd40, slowly pulled and twisted boot off. Wire was then able to fit inbetween the motor mounts after pulling the old ones through. Once wire is past the motor mounts just slip boot back on. Use old wires to practic pulling boots off of
plug wire. Still need to replace the passenger side front two plug wires,
any tips? The rest of the wires were easy, do one wire at a time.
Took my time 1 1/2 hours. I'm stoked!

:cheers: :seeya
